Che Guevara was a revolutionary by instinct. Personally was incorruptible and hated the bureaucracy, careerism and privileges.

The operation was planned by the CIA and organized by US Special Forces. On the 42nd anniversary of his death it is appropriate that we make a balance sheet of this outstanding revolutionary and martyr. Alan Woods, in his two-part article from 2007 looks at the evolution of Che Guevara from his early days to the day he was killed.

It is going to be written by the progressive masses, the honest and brilliant intellectuals, who so greatly abound in our suffering Latin American lands. Struggles of masses and ideas. An epic that will be carried forward by our peoples, mistreated and scorned by imperialism; our people, unreckoned with until today, who are now beginning to shake off their slumber. Imperialism considered us a weak and submissive flock; and now it begins to be terrified of that flock; a gigantic flock of 200 million Latin Americans in whom Yankee monopoly capitalism now sees its gravediggers . And the wave of anger, of demands for justice, of claims for rights trampled underfoot, which is beginning to sweep the lands of Latin America, will not stop. (Che Guevara, to the U.N. General Assembly, 11 December 1964) Ernesto Guevara Lynch, born 85 years ago today, in Rosario, Argentina.
